Interviews and more miracles

 Monday Nov 18, 2019

Hey Everyone, how has everyone been this week? This week was pretty alright from start to finish. We had Interviews this past week with President Dalton which unfortunately is my second to last Interview with him. I have tried to extend a couple times but I guess I am stuck with being released in January. Anyways I took a lot out of that Interview and took some advice on what I need to do at this time. I also got MyPlan this past week so that was depressing to see but I guess I'll have to live with it.

Something that did happen this week is that we got in touch with a Spanish Lady named Maria who sounded interested in the beginning. Her Husband passed last month so of course we left her with a Spanish Plan of Salvation. We went back the next day to check on her and she said that she was able to read from the Pamphlet. We set up with a return appointment on Sunday and had a pretty interesting lesson with her. We went with one of the Mission Presidency Counselors and his wife because they both spoke Spanish. When we went over we were in for quite the surprise. She told us that she knew about Joseph Smith being a Mason in the passed and wanted to know why there had to be another record. We helped her understand but she wasn't interested in being Baptized or her Ancestors. For the past two years she was watching some Pastor who apparently fed a lot of anti to people about the church. Kind of sad that people are like that especially if they want to represent Jesus Christ. Criticizing other religions only paints you as the bad guy. Really nice Lady though and expressed a desire to Learn English so hopefully a seed will be planted in that way.

I guess one miracle that we did end up having this week is that we knocked on someone's door who told us that he has been on FamilySearch for a while and would like to be at the Family History Classes at the church. We are pretty excited to see where this goes because we have been struggling to get people to church these past couple of weeks. There was also one night that we were able to meet with the Bells finally. Dale Bell has been sick in his stomach for the past couple of weeks and we were finally able to give him a blessing on Saturday night. The spirit was very strong in that household after that. This visit even had us cleanse the house from evil and dedicating the home afterwards. Definitely one of the highlights of my week. We also had this one day where we went knocking on doors and some cows and horses started watching us. It was kind of weird and one of the cows mooed at us quite a bit. May have been a Guard Cow or something? Other than that we are still looking for people to teach and I really hope we can work hard enough to see blessings rain down in Gilmer. Anyways I hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you all again soon!
